The first official session of the conference gave Members the opportunity to share their investment ideas while their spouses and significant others had the option to participate in financial literacy sessions entitled “The Psychology of Money” and “Market Theory, Portfolio Construction & Risk Management.”

The first day concluded with a cocktail reception, followed by dinner with entrepreneur, best-selling author, philanthropist, and the nation’s #1 Life & Business Strategist, Tony Robbins. The audience was impressed by his highly motivational, energetic, and insightful speech, which highlighted themes from his upcoming book Unshakeable ‚Äì Creating Peace of Mind in a World of Volatility.

Day Two featured Yale University psychology professor, Paul Bloom; renowned real estate investor, Sam Zell; Grant’s Interest Rate Observer editor, James Grant; esteemed Trump economic policy analyst, Stephen Moore; and presidential historians, Douglas Brinkley and Doris Kerns Goodwin, whose examination of the tenure of various U.S. presidents and inspection of the consistent characteristics that define outstanding leaders over lunch was particularly timely and thought-provoking.

Three top leaders in the non-profit space-Gerald Chertavian, Founder and CEO of Year Up; William Foster, Partner and Head of Consulting at The Bridgespan Group; and Yotam Polizer, Global Partnership and Development Director of IsraAid-joined TIGER 21 for lunch as they shared their perspectives on philanthropy and how to make an impact in this sector.

The conference concluded with a panel entitled “A Brave New World: Geopolitics and the War on Terror,” which comprised of John Allen, United States Marine Corps four-star general; Kenneth Pollack, Senior Fellow at the Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution; and Daniel Franklin, Executive Editor of The Economist. The three talked about emerging global concerns and how these issues might be addressed.
